INTERVIEW WITH ANGIE PADILLA
In November 2007 EQ will publish "My Dream House" --- a CD full of incredible appliqué house and furnishing projects (for EQ5 or EQ6). Meet
the award-winning designer, Angie Padilla, here in our newsletter.
 FREE PROJECT PREVIEW FROM
"MY DREAM HOUSE"
Here's a free project we created from Angie Padilla's upcoming "My Dream
House" CD. Download the
EQ5
project or
EQ6 project. This CD
is so fun we've been playing house with Angie's furniture for months. For an extra quick project,
fuse, or even print the images onto fabric!
EXTRA FREE EQ6 PROJECT FROM ANGIE PADILLA
Angie made an extra project especially for this newsletter. Visit Angie's website and download her "It's for the Birds" project. Open the project. Then read her notecards. She's left you tips on how
she drew the blocks, so you can practice using the PatchDraw tools, and her tips, on your own.
QUILT BLOCK SEARCH FROM
JARED NELSON
Angie Padilla writes: "My son and tech support Jared Nelson, has put together a Google custom search engine for quilters. Rather than spending time on the beach, he decided ... 'quilters need this.'" Try out Jared's pattern search engine here on Angie's web site: quiltpatternsearch.com

MYSTERY QUILT STORY AND LESSONS
Read Episode
7, in which Mitzi explains her sudden absence. She's been tracking her suspect, Board Member, Margaret McDougal, all the way to Paducah, Kentucky. Then
do Lesson 7, in which you draw a Star and Nine Patch block. Learn to use
EQ5
or
EQ6 as you solve the
mystery
and see
your final quilt after the 12th episode.
